An ethical person - like a politician, banker or lawyer - may know right from wrong, but unlike many of them, a moral person lives it. An Americanist first already knows that.
Bankers and their government agents will always act in their own best interests. Any residual benefit flowing down to the citizens by happenstance will just be litter.

President Obama Is Preparing to Violate the Posse Comitatus Act

We don’t have to wait until things get ugly before we address the danger facing our country. We already have enough evidence to prove President Obama is preparing to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

This act prohibits the federal government from using “the Armed Forces of the United States for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress.”

President Obama has not yet violated the letter of the law because he has not yet used our Armed Forces against the American people. However, he has already violated the spirit of the law by doing exactly what he promised to do on July 17 2008 when he said, “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

Watch this 21 second video:

Unfortunately, it was one of the few campaign promises President Obama has kept.

Liberals groups have attempted to do damage control by twisting his statement to say the opposite of what he said. For example, Factcheck.org posted the following ridiculous explanation:

Obama was not talking about a “security force” with guns or police powers. He was talking specifically about expanding AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps and the USA Freedom Corps, which is the volunteer initiative launched by the Bush administration after the attacks of 9/11, and about increasing the number of trained Foreign Service officers who populate U.S. embassies overseas.

There is no chance that a “national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded” as the United States military could possibly be referring to the Peace Corps! That is complete nonsense. Anyone who can make that statement with a straight face deserves at least a little credit. Since they posted it online we might never know if they were able to pull it off or not.

Perhaps Factcheck.org forgot to check the facts on this one, so let’s consider the facts. President Obama has done exactly what he said he wanted to do. He has turned the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into a powerful domestic military force. Since 2010, they have purchased over 2 billion rounds of ammunition. Their explanation is they need it for training purposes. That makes no sense because most of their purchases are hollow-tip bullets, which are not used for training purposes because they cost nearly twice as much as regular bullets.

Hollow-tip bullets are very deadly because they expand on impact to about 2.5 times their normal width. They are used only in urban warfare where the objective is to kill people without accidentally killing the wrong people because the bullets cannot penetrate buildings or walls.

DHS has also failed to explain why they have purchased such large quantities of ammunition. At the height of the Iraq War, our military used less than 6 million rounds per month. Therefore, Homeland Security is purchasing enough ammunition to sustain a domestic war for over 20 years (Source: Forbes).

In addition, DHS is purchasing about 2,700 Mine Resistant Protected MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

These MRAP vehicles are now being spotted on U.S. streets all across the country. They are equipped to withstand IED’s, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass. All of them have gun ports too (Source: Modern Survival Blog).

Gee, I wonder what the Peace Corp will do with all this lethal force. Seriously, we should be demanding an explanation that makes sense because so far we have not gotten one. Several Congressmen have requested explanations, but have yet to receive any that make sense. So we can only speculate about what DHS is planning to do with all their new military force. My guess is they cannot explain their actions because they are hiding their true plans.

One thing we don’t have to speculate about is the fact the DHS is planning to use their weapons right here on American soil because that is their whole reason for existence. They have become a domestic branch of our Armed Forces, exactly what President Obama said he wanted. As such, the Posse Comitatus Act applies as much to them as to any other branch. They have become the very thing the act was designed to prevent, a dangerous threat to our national security. Read more>>
